German tanks and American made tanks were "destroyed"?, Video appears: Ukrainian Army "Counterattacks" Sino US System | Tanks | Ukrainian Army
According to a report on today's Russian television website, on the 9th, a video of a "Leopard" -2A6 tank and multiple American made "Bradley" infantry tanks being destroyed during the Ukrainian army's "counterattack" operation appeared online.
Another video, apparently taken by Ukrainian soldiers, shows that a Leopard 2A4 tank was destroyed by landmines during a failed attempt to break through the front line near the town of Zaporizh'olehov.
The report also stated that on the 8th, Colonel Alexander Romanchuk, the commander of a Russian unit operating in the Zaporizhzhia region, reported that the Ukrainian army had lost over 30 tanks in the previous night's attack. It is reported that the losses on the Ukrainian side also include up to 350 deaths, as well as three Panther tanks and more than ten infantry tanks.
The Russian Ministry of Defense released the latest battlefield report on the 9th, claiming that Ukraine has lost up to 1240 soldiers and 39 tanks in just 24 hours.
The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the Ukrainian armed forces also lost 30 infantry tanks, 38 armored vehicles, dozens of artillery and other military equipment, as well as two military aircraft, two Storm Shadow cruise missiles provided by the UK, and 13 drones.
According to the Russian Lianta website, Russian military expert Vladislav Shurekin made predictions about the problems faced by the Ukrainian armed forces in an interview. He believes that the strategic reserve forces of the Ukrainian army can only function for a maximum of 5 to 6 days, and using these reserve forces afterwards will be meaningless.
According to the report, Shu Leijin stated that the main task of the Ukrainian army is not to break through the Russian defense line, but to launch a counterattack, and the results of the latter will become apparent in the coming days. He said, "If they cannot turn the situation around on the line of contact in the coming days, the Ukrainian army will be forced to shift to comprehensive defense."
According to the website of the German news television channel, Austrian military commentator Marcus Reisner talked about the fierce resistance of Russian soldiers. He said, "The Ukrainian side is surprised by the resilience and flexibility of the Russians."
The expert said that the Russian armed forces are not only able to use artillery and minefields to stop Ukraine's attack, but also use the air force to provide tactical support. In addition, Russians have become more flexible: "They now use very small mobile units equipped with anti tank guided missiles with a range of two kilometers on off-road vehicles." These small vehicles are difficult to identify, "which is a annoying accident for Ukraine.".

Some international media have previously quoted Ukrainian military representatives as speculating that the counterattack has been ongoing for several days. Kiev itself remains low-key and has always emphasized that it will not comment on launching a counterattack against itself.
The report states that in fact, the current fighting is very intense. But Ukrainian military leaders still refuse to provide information about the fighting, making it difficult for people to obtain reliable information.
